About Elena

I wasn’t an athlete growing up and didn’t think of myself as a runner. When I started, I couldn’t run 30 seconds without stopping. Run-walk intervals eventually became my first 5K, and I went on to run races from 5Ks to marathons. After professional coaching transformed how I trained and helped me improve my marathon PR by 45 minutes, I became a UESCA Certified Running Coach to help other everyday runners experience the same confidence and growth.

Coaching Philosophy

Running should add to your life—not compete with it. The best training isn’t the hardest training; it’s the training you can consistently do while balancing work, family, hobbies, and everything else life throws your way. I build coaching around each runner’s goals, schedule, experience, and unique needs, using personalized, evidence-based training and adapting along the way.

I believe running should be for every body. I coach with curiosity, empathy, and a willingness to learn, creating a space where every athlete is treated with respect and supported as their authentic self. Whether you’re running your first mile or fifteenth marathon, your goals matter.
